Sermon On The Mount Moscone Center West


Well... another Apple WWDC Keynote by Steve (Jobs). I tried to get there this year but apparently my kung-fu wasn't that good. No stream this year either though, so I had to wait until the various rumour sites and Appl had updated to find out. Nice stuff in Tiger, the next incarnation of MacOS X. New displays that match the G5's smooth look.

30 INCH LCD DISPLAY

OH MY GOD!!!! Of course, Apple being Apple they posted the following on their page:

But even more than saving you money, when you choose items that consume less electricity, it means that power plants don’t need to consume as much fossil fuels and thus emit fewer greenhouse gases. What’s more, building an LCD display uses less materials than building a CRT, which leaves more raw materials for your grandchild’s computer. And since they don’t need huge boxes, flat panels also reduce the cost of packaging and shipping. All of this helps to reduce dependence on oil.

Yep. Because the reason we all covet a 30" LCD is because they're environmentally friendly. Sure we do....

Which Battle Royale Character are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

Okay, so I have the Battle Royale Special Edition DVD and was hunting around for the book, but translated into English. Amazon.com has it, but I found the first 10 chapters translated here to let me see if it's really worth it. I plan to read them this afternoon while I babysit another slide projector for a client.

Ahhh. A man with a sharp wit. Someone ought to take it away from him before he cuts himself.


Peter da Silva

So on Friday we went and saw the new Harry Potter film. Damn Alfonso Cuaron can produce a vision. The movie tone fit the tone of the book sooooo well, Thewliss was the Lupin and Michael Gambon, well if he had played Dumbledore from the beginning, people would have been more accepting of his interpretation. He plays DD much more like the books portray him then the slightly wizend old wizard Richard Harris did. Not knocking ol' Macarthur Park though.

We also went out and had dinner at Toscani's and after a little bit of bill difficulty (they put a bunch of stuff on our bill we didn't have!!) it was nice. I also handed in 30-something pages of Beagle Bones write up and am now working on my RMP assignment for Friday.

Additionally I have now finished Maburaho and am 3 episodes into Stellvia of the Universe.

Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.


Charles M. Schulz (1922 - 2000), Charlie Brown in "Peanuts"


I got the second and third Lord Of The Rings OSTs on Sunday before BAS. $15 each. Bargain. These are currently being ripped to the iBook for bulk LOTR musical phuns.

This of course followed by the BAS craptacular. The AV system in the Kindler Theatre broke down and we got shunted back to the old haunt in S Block. I much preferred S Block because you couldn't hang around out the front, back in the day. Unfortunately, most people who started doing that in the foyer of the Kindler Theatre just plonked themselves down on the floor outside the room.

Noisy bastards. I have grabbed all of Maburaho and Stellvia though. I'm such a slut for cute character designs.

Kill me now. Also, I think that once again I have been defeated by the single date barrier. It appears that once again I shall add to the large roster of Bill's Female Friends. Adding to the self dumping thingy, I like the general connotations of the "I'm sure you'll find a girl one day" thing when it comes from other girls. Because of the implied, "But you're just not good enough/too ugly/not ugly enough/too fat/too skinny/too big (thanks Zadie for adding that one to the melting pot of possible rejection reasons/abusive enough for me."

Ooh... New Harry Potter movie comes out on Thursday!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!

You're an Etch-a-Sketch!! You're the creative,
artsy type who doesn't need to actually utilize
a single muscle group in order to have fun.
Doesn't matter though, you're still cool.

What movie Do you Belong in?(many different outcomes!)
brought to you by Quizilla

You belong in the world of the laid-back, blue-sky lovers.
You belong on a lazy-day beach or anywhere where
you can set up a relaxing bench or chair and
watch the world go by. You don't want to make
any changes, watching is enough to make you
content. The blue of the sky and the light of
day beat into your soul and you drift into the
world and around without harming anything or
making any ripples in the fabric of humanity.
Enjoy your peace, few have it, though few would
want it at the cost.

Weapons are not your thing. You would prefer to
pummel your opponent to death with your fists
and feet. You show a lot of Honor but some
power still eludes you. I can give you this
power, I can make you stronger, join me.
